E3 2012: 5th-7th June

[Bruticis]

I like how Ed pretends to have standards while at the same time he's babbling about skyrim rape mods and shitty anime on Netflix in the CDS chat.

 

[Stinger]

I'm still looking forward to Hitman Absolution even if all the news thus far suggests that it's utter shit.

From memory Blood Money was also advertised as some crappy actionfest and for me it's the best game in the series.

Unless there is a serious backlash against this game after launch I still want to believe that it'll be good.

Aside from that only Divinity and Dishonoured look any good.

 

[Bruticis]

Why isn't Simcity listed in the MMO section?

 

[Bruticis]

It was my understanding SimCity is both SP and MP.

Always online SP

 

[Metro]

Only game on that list I see myself getting Borderplands 2 for $10.

 

[deuxhero]

Anyone else filling out a Bingo card? (I added "Project X Zone US announcment", but still need 4 spots... hmm)

 

[Outlander]

Here's 12 minutes gameplay footage from Metro: Last Light



In this one there are some exterior areas:



I'm filling buckets over the art direction.

 

[Gragt]

Fuck this. Fuck you all. I'm just crying now. What the fuck went wrong? We only wanted good video games. We never did harm to anybody else.

 

[Bruticis]

I hate to go all skyway but that metro video looks extremely scripted and extremely linear AKA business as usual.

 

[Captain Shrek]

Fuck this. Fuck you all. I'm just crying now. What the fuck went wrong? We only wanted good video games. We never did harm to anybody else.

The road to EA is paved with intentions of Good games. Surrender naw to the future.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Dishonored?

Also, Carmack's id software seems to be preparing something for this year's E3, although I dunno what.

Got a sauce for id? Unlikely to be Doom 4 since it's supposedly been canned.

It's not canned. And id's big debuts are always at the Quakecon.

 

[asper]

A selection of E3 1999 titles for comparison's sake:

Man, did you have to do that

 

[Don Peste]

Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 (looks awful)?

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 (looks awful)?

Canceled.

 

[sser]

Well... hm... uh, I guess the Eador game looks interesting enough.

 

[Don Peste]

Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 (looks awful)?

Canceled.

[Wirdschowerdn]

Warner Borthers announces "Guardians of Middle-Earth", some multiplayer-nonsense from Monolith, for XBLA and PSN.

BETHESDA SOFTWORKS ANNOUNCES DOOM 3 BFG EDITION

id Software's Genre-Defining Game Returns This Fall with All-New Content

May 30, 2012 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, today announced that DOOM® 3 BFG Edition will be available this Fall and features DOOM® 3 and the Resurrection of Evil® add-on pack, both of which have been completely re-mastered. The package also includes hours of new content – seven new levels entitled 'The Lost Mission.' DOOM 3 BFG Edition is slated for release for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PC and PlayStation® 3 – marking the first time any DOOM game has ever appeared on the PlayStation® 3.

Re-mastered for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, this genre defining game and its expansion pack offers greatly enhanced graphics, deeply immersing the player in the demonic world of this terrifying horror masterpiece. Players will also experience a never-before-seen single-player story, 'The Lost Mission,' featuring seven heart-pounding levels that will once again have them on the edge of their seats.

DOOM 3, Resurrection of Evil, and 'The Lost Mission' have been optimized in 3D, featuring 5.1 surround sound, Xbox 360 Achievements, PlayStation 3 trophies, improved rendering and lighting, and a new check point save system allowing for smoother progression through the game. id® Software has fine-tuned the controls to bring the intensity of the DOOM single and multiplayer experience to the consoles, and DOOM 3 now features the new armor-mounted flashlight, allowing players to illuminate dark corners and blast enemies at the same time.

"DOOM 3 was enthusiastically embraced by gamers worldwide at its release," said John Carmack, Technical Director at id Software. "Today, the full experience has been enhanced and extended to be better than ever, and is delivered across all the platforms with a silky smooth frame rate and highly responsive controls. New support for 3D TVs, monitors, and head mounted displays also allows players to experience the game with more depth than ever before. We think shooter fans everywhere will love it."

As a special bonus, DOOM 3 BFG Edition will also include the original DOOM® and DOOM® 2 games, making it the definitive collection of the revolutionary games developed by id Software, the studio that pioneered the first-person shooter genre.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Hah, so that's what Carmack was crunching on.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Nah, that means my information was correct (which it couldn't help but be). I didn't claim to know what exactly he was crunching on, anyway.

 

[Excidium]

DOOM 3 now features the new armor-mounted flashlight, allowing players to illuminate dark corners and blast enemies at the same time.

Why it wasn't always like that is beyond my understanding. Just tape that shit somewhere FFS

Anyway, never played Doom 3, don't think I will now.

I tried it twice, but always abandoned some 60-90 minutes into the game. I hated shooters immensely back then, but was interested to experience cutting-edge graphics of that time. Will probably try again sometime, since Mass Effect taught me to tolerate FPS gameplay

 

[sgc_meltdown]

I enjoyed Derp 3 more

 

[sgc_meltdown]

hey guys I made this texture look super unnaturally bumpy

you see improving graphics means making them visually obtrusive

 

[Astral Rag]

Doom 1 and 2 are now finally Kinect ready for the awesome generation. Doom 3 is still shunned by all.
